Results of observations made to search for gamma-ray sources with energy greater than 2 by 10 to the 12th power eV, are presented. The technique of detecting Cerenkov flashes from extensive air showers was used. The quality of the data obtained is analyzed. Criteria for selecting data free from meteorological variations are considered. It is shown that two objects, Cyg X-3 and Cas gamma-1, may be the sources of high-energy gamma quanta. It is probable that an object with right ascension 05 hr 15 min and declination + 1 deg is a source of gamma rays as well. The unidentified object Cas gamma-1 is variable; gamma-ray flux was observed twice. It is possible that the flux from Cyg X-3 has a period of 4.8 hr.
